Hi All,

A new "monitor"

You mean a new "display" or "lcd backlight" ?

Or ... do you mean another part of your MPC60.

Where in Australia are you located ?

Rohan.

Thats what i thought.. I checked them, then got a cat who knew a little (lot) more then me to have a look and he came up with nothing more then a theory that i might have toasted the chipset.. is this a possibility?

The new screen i ordered came with a new board but no connector - i attempted to take the connector of the old screens board - clumsily!

now i've got it to a stage where the screen lights when i turn it on but theres no text - the disk doesnt even seem to load either...

bummed!!!!

So again I ask... ( as in my last post within this thread and in response to your question about a tech in Australia )...

Where about in Australia are you located ?

Well at least he's in the right country for you to help him.

Take it to this guy named Dundee, he stays down in the bush, near the Outback steakhouse, on Koala Boulevard. He's real handy with a knife.

mate i know you're just playing... but that kind of comment is pretty lame... we've had to endure that sh*t since the 80s.

Australian stereotypes? Hey, it could have been worse:

Hey again all - thanks for (most of) the replies, I'll even wear a few flimsy piss takes if I can get my baby fixed..

Its the lcd screen, I've got the mansell lab upgrade and the old chip set, and I'm in Sydney

PM me and I will put you onto the best remaining tech in Sydney who can sort your MPC60 out.

As for the http://www.mansell-labs.com upgrade... ( note: not for the MPC60 )

Unless you are one of my MPC3000 os upgrade customers then you might be mixing up the http://www.rogerlinndesign.com upgrade for the MPC60 with the http://www.mansell-labs.com one for the MPC3000... a different thing all together.

Rohan.

It's great to see so many (well, more than i expected) australian heads on here. Apart from a couple of my friends, i thought i was the only person in sydney with a MPC 60 / 3000.

You guys got myspaces? PM me please..
